How about that Sequestration
Was listening to
David Webb this evening and he brought up this story -- from
FOX News:
State Department approves $700G gardening contract in Belgium despite sequester warnings
Around the same time the State Department was warning the public about the painful pinch from sequester cuts, it was also signing off on a $700,000 gardening contract at the home of a U.S. ambassador in Belgium, federal documents show.
The March 11 contract for the U.S. Mission in Brussels includes $134,744 in the first year for grass cutting, weeding, trimming and other landscaping services at Truman Hall. It also calls for planting nearly 1,000 violas, begonias and tulips at NATO Ambassador Ivo Daalder�s home.
The total amount of the contract awarded to Brussels-based landscaping company Iris Greencare stretches to up to $704,198 over a four-year period.
We can afford this but not security for the embassy at Benghazi?
How about swinging by Home Depot on any Saturday morning, gather up a bunch of
undocumented Democrats and fly them over to do the work...
